14-year-old Kate Bloom wants to know how a mashed-potato birthday cake, a crushed robin’s egg, and a rain-soaked grandmother led to her being “in the family way”. But, more importantly, she wants to know how she’ll find a way out of this mess without her well-meaning sisters and her crazy mother ruining everything. Set in rural Oklahoma in the 1970s, this coming-of-age narrative about Kate and her sisters surviving their alcoholic mother is a heartbreaking and yet irreverently funny emotional roller coaster told in a straight-forward fashion that will keep its readers hooked until the very last page.
